This post is a little late, as I did not get to it before we boarded the ferry. Our day was pretty simple - drive down to Port aux Basques and get on the ferry. We didn't leave until almost lunch time, as the forecast was for fog, and we weren't in a rush.
On the way up the road, we had noticed a number of restaurants and food trucks selling squid rings, so we stopped at one of the food trucks for lunch. I purchased a moose burger and squid rings, which everyone tried. They were good, but the batter had a lot of salt and pepper in it. The moose burger was extremely good and definitely something I would have again.
Then it was on to Port aux Basques. We arrived around 4:30pm, went through the railway museum (just to annoy the kids some more) and then headed to a local restaurant for supper. Then it was off to downtown to see the ferry, do some shopping and listen to some local music. After that, we got in line for the ferry and sat in the terminal for a couple of hours.
This time, we ended up in the basement of the ship, which means you have to go on to the one deck and then take a steep path down to the bottom, where they have you back into a few rows of parking. Of course, with all the people everywhere and all the ship workers watching, my backing up skills decided to disappear, but we managed to get parked and find seats on the ship. Then it was off to bed as the ferry took us back to Nova Scotia.
